Thank you for sharing such an informative link, I will read it, and surely learn many new things by it.
In fact in Pakistan, especially in my city I never saw or experienced Tactile tiles on Pathways, and honestly I didn’t know it before till I visit Srilanka and Malaysia and gain wonderful knowledge about Accessibility and it’s different features by Thushy Ilankovan.
@AlphaSays Thank you bro, for let us know about your university. Here we don’t have Tactile Tiles everywhere, but in just some newly built Airports, Shopping Malls and in some bus terminals. But let’s hope for the best.
And I wish that I can see Accessibility friendly facilities everywhere in my country soon.
Tactile tiles are such an underrated accessibility feature and I honestly wished more areas utilized them, at least where I live. I usually notice them used for accessible spots for wheelchairs on roads and at rail stations but that is about it. Thanks for sharing your experience w/ these is Malaysia and providing a great deal of context, @KashifMisidia .
Thanks, @ravindus for your kind words bhai. Yeh, I m witness amazing facilities by Government at many places especially at Galle Road, where every pathway have these Tactile tiles to facilitate people with visual impairment problems.
Yes @NareshDarji bhai and @Rohan10 Bhai, same here now, I saw these tactile tiles first time in Malaysia and Srilanka, and then when I was back to Karachi, I noticed it so many places, like newly build shopping malls, some specific bus terminals and at Karachi Airport.
Shukriya Bhai @Sarbland for your appreciation, these are things which we see many times in our normal life, but never understand that how much it’s important for a person, who is suffering from Visual Impairmemt difficulties.
I hope soon we can see this amazing facility every Pathway of our country inshaAllah.
Same here @Ant_Bad_Yogi , I was also not aware how important these tactile tiles are for the people with different abilities till someone thought me about it. So same I m doing, I m sharing this knowledge to you and my other friends, and by this we can create a great awareness for the people with different abilities.
Bohat Shukriya @Shrut19 meri Behen, yes you surely saw the right thing, these tiles which you saw in the Mumbai Metro terminal are for the people who are facing visual impairment difficulties in their lives.
But these Tactile Tiles are giving them some relief during there daily travel by metro.
@PritishB Thank you Pristish bhai, for your great words. Together we can make this world “Accessible for Everyone” and you are doing great job for this cause as I always appreciate your great efforts.
Thanks for sharing @KashifMisidia bhai. I am very happy and feel blessed that I had these opportunities to live in those places where the Government pays attention to small details and big causes, accessibility is one of them. Normally, people do not pay attention to these details (not because they are ignorant, but simple because sometimes we need a mentor to point us to different directions and discuss the real meaning behind things). I am glad that you became that source for many people in Pakistan.
You will be surprised to see that Pakistani government started taking accessibility standards into consideration for all their new projects. A recent metro railway project (BBC report shared here, as I could not find a creative common licensed image to use directly) in Lahore, Pakistan is a good example.
Thank you for sharing such informative post @KashifMisidia I remember seeing such tiles in Mumbai, India at railway station ramps. Your post gives a great insight to this accessibility feature.
